Benefits of technology
The invention is a method and system for correcting vestibular conditions by navigating a user through a type of maneuver. The system includes sensors to collect data about the user's head and body orientation, as well as eye movements. The data is used to create a three-dimensional model of the user and generate a sequence of steps to be performed by the user. The system then displays an animation on a display device to guide the user through the maneuver. The invention provides a cost-effective and accurate system for correcting vestibular conditions while training the user to maintain precision.
Problems solved by technology
Reoccurrence of the calcium carbonate crystals in the three fluid-filled semicircular canals even after performance of the existing types of maneuvers often owes its existence to the lack of precision and accuracy maintained in the performance of the steps associated with the types of maneuvers, by a user.
Furthermore, the performance of steps associated with the types of maneuvers includes extensive training of users to try and maintain precision and therefore requires extensive investments in creating a specialized trained skill set.
Also, existing techniques involve the use of mechanized chairs for performing the maneuver, which are bulky and expensive.

The invention provides a method and system for navigating a user based on a type of maneuver for correction of a vestibular condition. The method and system collects sensor data regarding orientation of head and body of a person for creating a three-dimensional model of the person. The method and system then generates a sequence of steps corresponding to the type of maneuver along with an instruction set and a time duration for performing each step of the sequence of steps, thus enabling the user to perform each step of the sequence of steps corresponding to the type of maneuver, on the person for correcting the vestibular condition.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention generally relates to a method and system for correcting vestibular conditions and similar disorders. More specifically, the invention relates to a method and system for navigating a user based on a type of maneuver for correction of a vestibular condition and similar disorders.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]One of the very common and prevalent causes of vertigo and other balance related disorders include the Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). The usual symptoms of imbalance / spinning sensation usually occur when a person changes a position as some of the calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia) that are typically embedded in the gel in the utricle become displaced and migrate into one or more of the three fluid-filled semicircular canals. Another symptom accompanying the usual symptoms includes abnormal rhythmic eye movements called nystagmus.[0003]Reoccurrence of the calcium carbonate crystals in the three fluid-filled semicircular ...
